RevNet Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Sacramento Senators Location: Sacramento, California, USA Colors: Blue (Pantone 280 C), Red (Pantone 180 C), White Simply put, the name, the colors, and the logo stem from Sacramento being California's state capital. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next team: the San Diego Vipers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 San Diego Vipers Location: San Diego, California, USA Colors: Green (Pantone 369 C), Red (Pantone 1805 C), White Ever since San Diego got this team, the color scheme and the name have relatively remained the same, along with the white chevron on the logo and shirt. The green comes from the color of the snake, and the red is meant to convey danger. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Last, but definitely not least: the San Francisco Wizards!

RevNet Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 San Francisco Wizards Location: San Francisco, California, USA Colors: Black, Gold (Pantone 108 C), Ruby, Amethyst The original colors of ruby and amethyst are not the only unique things about this team. The numbers and the NOB on the team's home shirts are in different colors to celebrate the quirkiness of some of San Francisco's citizenry. The black and gold come from a typical witch's hat. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next, we are heading up north to meet the teams of the Great White North League!

Bruhammydude Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 These look great! Only nitpick is that the template you use doesn't have pants/shorts. But these are really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanna65 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 This is such a unique sport! What an interesting creation. So I'm assuming games are played like team ten pin bowling events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevNet Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 The Great White North League is comprised of the six Canadian teams in NARBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Calgary Bighorns Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Colors: Black, Red (Pantone Red 032 C), White Originally the Calgary Southerners to refer to the team's location within the province of Alberta, the team originally embraced a cowboy-like identity, but progressively shied away from that as time went on. Through this name change, the cowboy days are over, but the colors of black, red, and white remain. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next is the Edmonton Freeze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Edmonton Freeze Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Colors: Blue (Pantone Process Blue C), Ice Blue (Pantone Blue 0821 C), White Unlike their rivals in Calgary, this team has relatively remained the same as far as any changes are concerned. With perhaps the most iconic logo in all of NARBA, why change? The "Freeze" name and the lighter blue color come from Edmonton being the northernmost located team in NARBA. The darker blue comes from Edmonton's city flag. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next team is the Montreal Mountaineers!

RevNet Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Montreal Mountaineers (Alpinistes) Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Colors: Black, Purple (Pantone Violet C), White If Edmonton has the most iconic logo, Montreal's is not that far behind, but there is a slight change to it for NARBA 3.0. The "Mountaineers" name comes from Montreal meaning "Mount Royal" in French. The color scheme follows this fact. In fact, if it weren't for the team being a roller bowling team, you wouldn't be wrong to assume that the team is always dressed for a day out skiing on the slopes. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next team up: the Toronto Warthogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Toronto Warthogs Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Colors: Black, Rust (Pantone 181 C), White The "Warthogs" name comes from the nickname of "Hogtown" for Toronto. Since Toronto is a multicultural city, the logo is of a caricature of a warthog, so that it'll appeal to everyone. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next is the Vancouver Vanguard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Vancouver Vanguard Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Colors: Blue (Pantone 662 C), Red (Pantone 186 C), Gold (Pantone 123 C) Originally the BC Britons in the WRA (the precursor to the International Roller Bowling Congress or IRBC), when the opportunity came for a change of name, "Vanguards" was the serendipitous solution that Vancouver wanted to maintain a British connection and having a nickname that started with a "V". It was eventually shortened to just "Vanguard" for NARBA 2.0 and later. Here is the team evolution: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Round out these Canadian teams: the Winnipeg Arrowheads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Winnipeg Arrowheads Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Colors: Blue (Pantone 293 C), Green (Pantone 348 C), Yellow (Pantone 102 C) Named in honor of the Métis people, the team's 3.0 home shirt is a take on the Winnipeg city flag. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next, we'll be checking out the Midwestern League teams!

They all look great, but I think the Outsiders is probably my favourite just because of how different and creative it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevNet Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Chicago Cavaliers Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA Colors: Black, Red (Pantone 186 C), Gold (Pantone 1235 C) Not much to say about this Chicago team. They adopted the four-star shield logo in NARBA 2.0. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next team up: the Detroit Kings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Detroit Kings Location: Detroit, Michigan, USA Colors: Purple (Pantone 2725 C), Silver The "Kings" name refers to the "kings" of the US automotive industry: GM, Chrysler, and Ford. The crown logo follows this reasoning. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next is the team of the Minnesota Bruins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Minnesota Bruins Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Colors: Blue, Gold (Pantone 1235 C) You can consider this identity as revenge towards Los Angeles for stealing Minnesota's Lakers NBA team. However, the colors of the team come from the Minnesota state flag. However you slice it, this identity is one of the classiest in the MWL, if not in NARBA. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Next: the Ohio Barons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Ohio Barons Location: Columbus, Ohio, USA Colors: Red (Pantone 193 C), White, Black This team is one of the only ones to exist as a merging of other teams. Four WRA teams from each of Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, and Toledo merged to form the Barons you see below. The original uniforms of the team reflect this. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler 3.0: Spoiler Next team: the St. Louis Archers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 St. Louis Archers Location: St. Louis, Missouri, USA Colors: Red (Pantone 186 C), Blue (Pantone 2747 C), Gold (Pantone 108 C) Originally the St. Louis Lions, this team wanted a more localized nickname, because the "Lions" name felt like an add-on. The "Archers" name comes from St. Louis's most famous landmark, the Gateway Arch. The team colors come from the city flag. Here is the team evolution: Original: Spoiler 2.0: Spoiler Home: Away: 3.0: Spoiler Last team from the MWL: the Wisconsin Robins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
